Not sure of the wear factor yet, but something to keep an eye on. The "bruxer" type of crown idea. With my experience thus far, e.max is definitely a reliable material for the challenged occlusal situation as long as there is adequate ceramic thickness. From what I am hearing in the industry, part of a material's wear compatibility factor is defined by the smoothness and polishability of the material. Zirconia is a very smooth material.

It happens...open contact on a beautifully milled restoration. Otherwise, it is perfect. Add-on porcelain technique is simple and can often be fired in conjunction with the glaze or crystallization cycle. See webcast posted to chapter 6.

Minor update: - optimized insertion axis calculation Sometimes during calculation of the restoration proposal an error message came up (like: 'error during calculation'). This has been fixed with this service pack. There is no new upload software to the MC XL with this service patch. Download from http://bit.ly/9cYkVO

Happy New Year to all my CEREC Liftoff colleagues. I am looking forward to this coming year and the CEREC world. We will continue to evolve and add to CEREC Liftoff so you will value this site as a dental mentoring site for years to come. I spend as much time in the dental clincial trenches with CEREC chairside as I do teaching. So what I bring to the mentoring table is what I do on a daily basis in the practice. CEREC Liftoff is evolving to be more than CEREC, but also my practice style, systems, and philosophies. Thanks so much for signing up as members. Each one of you are valuable. Happy New Year! Sincerely James

For 3.85 version and prior, I still prefer the Correlation Jig when taking a veneer optical capture for multiple maxillary incisor veneers. The new posted video in chapter 9 will review the capture "Correlation Jig" technique used in the Klim office. Benefits of Correlation Jig 1. Fewer optical captures required. 2. Ideal 60 degree capture of veneer preparation(s). 3.
